Ive got two computers in yesterday with the, what appears to be new, fbi virus with the banner for FBI. Cybercrime Division banner. Was able to remove the virus on the first computer using Hitman Pro followed a few other tools to remove traces/rootkits but the second one wont connect to the internet. Hitman launches and then says "Waiting for internet connection" with a 5 minute countdown. I've removed dozens of these fbi viruses since they have came out and havent had one this annoying yet...

i'm usually able to boot into safe mode with command prompt and install/run malware-byte but after a full scan with the latest update installed (even copied from another computer), it doesnt detect and remove the fbi ransomware. I've tried rescue cd's and everything but nothing detects it!

Does anyone know the general location this virus hides? I would gladly just manually remove it if i knew where it was.

Booted into safe mode with command prompt again and went over the drivers in device manager. they had a bunch of tunnel adapters which i uninstalled. After that, Hitman/Kickstart was able to connect to the internet, scan and remove the fbi virus.

to get to device manager inside safe mode with command prompt, type start mmc.exe then go to file and select devmanager (or whatever is closest to that).

my sister has the same virus i tryed using the same guide that u guys have but when hitman pro starts it wants an internet connection witch for sum odd reason its not detecting. after 30 sec, i get the "blue screen of death" and it keep rebooting.maybe im doing something wrong can someone plz help i would apprecate it
